As 2010 draws to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU.

Thank you first to the students – you remind me every day what my job is all about. I appreciate your hard work, thinking, and enthusiasm for learning. Great Kid lunches are the highlight of my week and I love hearing all the ways you are special. Thank you also for your patience as I learn all your names!

Thank you to the staff for all you do for our kids every day. You are truly an amazing bunch of people!

Lastly, thank you to the Cascade Ridge community. Your generosity is seen time and time again. From the countless volunteer hours you give to the outpouring of gifts for Caring through Sharing, this is truly an exceptional community and one that I am so grateful to be a part of.

I am looking forward to 2011 and all the wonderful experiences it has in store. Best wishes this holiday season.
